Product Description

Recently I was able to acquire some very unique Gettysburg items from old collections. Being a Gettysburg collector myself, I am holding on to a couple of the pieces but will be listing the others. The one offered here is a 3-inch Parrott shell section which was recovered from the Gettysburg battlefield. It was purchased from Stephen Heinstrom of Massachusetts. In the 1970s he acquired it from the collection of Tom Presard of New Hampshire.

Affixed to the front is an old tape tag (typical of early recoveries) with a pencil inscription identifying the recovery location of the artifact – “Devil’s Den”.

Well documented early Gettysburg pieces are hard to come by, and I feel lucky I was able to get these artifacts. This is truly a great piece and from one of the most historic areas of the battlefield. Included will be a Certificate of Authenticity.
